The analog electronics modules are installed on terminal modules which must be additionally ordered.
The analog electronics modules are plugged as planned onto terminal modules using screw-type systems (TM‑EM/EM60S) or spring-loaded systems (TM‑EM/EM60C).
Using a spare module plugged onto a terminal module TM‑EM/EM60S or TM‑EM/EM60C, you can reserve a slot for an analog electronics module or close a gap resulting from how the modules were placed. The spare module can be simply replaced by the envisaged electronics module at a later point in time.
The mechanical coding of the terminal module which is carried out when an electronics module is plugged on for the first time prevents the connection of incorrect replacement modules.
Hot swapping of individual modules is possible under hazardous conditions.
The process signals are connected to the terminals of the terminal modules assigned according to the plan, using either conventional screw-type or spring-loaded systems (conductor cross-sections 0.14 mm² to max. 2.5 mm²) depending on the type of module.
